I think it’s bc many of these dishes don’t have a super identifiable English name honestly! You’d find plenty more if you’re searching with Chinese characters

It’s because they aren’t marketable compared to other dishes

there probably are dishes that are at risk of being lost but 水煮魚 definitely isn’t one of them lol

China has a very different meat scene than the United States so a lot of stuff that is traditional like fish and duck is just entirely too expensive in the states unfortunately

Sichuanese diaspora is very small. We eat this all the time in Sichuan, this dish is certainly not going to be lost or forgotten 😂

idk :
if people you are talking about are only in western apps, i don't think that's a good measure to conclude that a chinese dish will disappear after a few decades especially if it's still popular in china lol.

i'm assuming it may be because some dishes aren't deemed aesthetic enough for social media, are dishes that are common because they are heavily associated with homecooking so they aren't as common in restaurant, or just arent seen as relatable enough to the viewer (ex: pork belly is popular because lots of cultures already view it as delicious and it is pretty affordable, whereas dishes that involve century egg aren't that common outside of chinese cooking so foreign viewers may be less likely to try them.)

Fuzhounese food! Look up recipes for 紅糟雞,福州雞湯麵線, 锅边糊,etc. I lived in Sarawak for several years and there’s a substantial number of 2nd/3rd gen Fuzhounese there. So many of the traditional Fuzhou dishes can still be found there. In fact, 福州话 is fairly widely spoken there.

I’m so sad that I’m severely allergic to eggplant 😭 (there are so many Chinese recipes that sound amazing, but have eggplant. And Idfk what to substitute it with)

The reason why, IMO, is a majority of chinese who were immigrants were southern China/Hong Kong. A majority of USA in example, especially China Towns, are predominantly Cantonese/Taishanese and so is the culinary.

that’s because no one calls it “sichuan boiled fish” it’s more commonly called “chinese sauerkraut fish soup”
